You can be as ugly as they come but if you have a positive attitude and confidence people will gravitate towards that spark of character and be willing to do business with you.

Keep in mind that everyone has a different risk tolerance, different skillset (asset subclasses in real estate), different liquidity/net worth, and different medium and long term goals with their investments.So, simply listing the sponsors I like will likely be more meaningful to someone who's done at least a few deals as an LPs, knows the community, terminology, how to read a PPM, underwriting, etc.

Tax liens seem incredibly complex with rules and regulations and bidding etc and I can't see how an individual investor could really participate in any meaningful way (like trying to deploy $250K).

I found that letters spark more curiosity and will result in a higher response rate vs postcards.

There are still ways to do it locally, but I think you need a ton of capital to scale them in a meaningful way (room rentals, air bnb, etc).Back to the timeline, my personal opinion is that it's not very realistic based on the amount of capital you have at hand. 

Anyway, I read, all I do is read and I have recently stumbled into something that sparked an idea but I guess I’m not sure if it works the way I interpreted it?

However, my current job is very accommodating for a side hustle, but is draining enough to be a daily spark of motivation towards quitting!

Even the Wholesale deals I'm seeing in the area aren't good for flips, Buy-and-Hold maybe but nothing more.Are you still seeing any meaningful profitable deals or is it all negative cash flow and hopes and prayers on equity growth?

The street hasn't been developed YET, but I'm wondering if putting a brand new home in the area would spark the development of renovations for the surrounding homes on the street.Based on his wanting price for 20K (not including the assignment fee), the high homes comps, and the cost of building a new home there, would this be a bad deal to get into?

In my experience running an accounting firm and renting SFRs, treating people well is far cheaper in the long run, and far more meaningful!
